T.P. part 7
I own nothing.
Teddy sat on his chair behind his desk in his office, surveying the little redhead smiling triumphantly as she sat on his desk, still in her lovely green dress, but maskless. Teddy preferred her with her mask off; she was so beautiful with out it. He in turn, had removed the jacket of his robes and his mask, but let his hair fade from black to blue, like he normally preferred. He was still trying to wrap his mind around what had happened. Lily had known… but for how long and why did she still agree to the date if she had known?
They were sitting in silence. It wasn't an awkward silence, more contemplative. The dance had ended over an hour ago making it two in the morning, but they had been in this office for much longer then that. After their midnight make out session on the dance floor, Teddy had felt exposed and needed some time alone with Lily where they could talk, but they hadn't done much of that either… Lily's lips turned out to be too persuasive after they left the Great Hall and they quickly found a broom cupboard to enjoy for a few minutes before they were found by Professor McGonagall, luckily with their masks still in tact. She had scolded them slightly, before returning to the Great Hall, allowing the two to escape down to his office where they were currently stationed.
Teddy had so many questions. How did she know? How did she find out? How long had she known? And the most important question of all… What was going to happen next? Teddy looked up at the little minx who giggled slightly as his hair changed color in tune to his thoughts.
"How?" He asked, uttering the first word that had been spoken since they had entered the office. Lily giggled.
"I didn't know per say… more like hoped…" She said, looking down embarrassed. "But I figured it out when I saw your hair."
"My hair?" Teddy asked bewildered. He had been so careful not to allow the colors to change while they were together. How did he slip up?
"It was black," she said very matter of factly.
"So?" He didn't see where she was going with this.
"With a blue hint? Seriously Teddy! Don't tell me you don't remember!" Lily said almost laughing at him. He looked at her while wracking his brain trying to think of something. Then realization dawned on him.
"That day in the garden!" He said shocked. Lily nodded amorously.
"Where you told me that my parents were renewing their wedding vows and I got sad because I wouldn't have a date."
"And I told you I would be your date, and then you said anytime we went on a date together, I would have to have my hair be black with a hint of blue…" Teddy finished. How could he have forgotten that? He knew that his outfit had fitted together too nicely!
"Yep! So I wasn't really sure until then, but I hoped and wished that it would be you," Lily said with laughing eyes.
"And you still danced with me and… kissed me and everything?" Teddy asked shocked. He was so sure that she would head for the hills the minute she found out her secret admirer was actually her teacher/god brother. Lily rolled her eyes at him.
"Are you really this thick?" She asked him. When he didn't answer, she got off the desk and sat on his lap. Teddy knew he should tell her that this was highly inappropriate for a student and teacher, but his heart was too happy to do any such thing. "Teddy Lupin," She began, looking straight into his eyes with such intensity that Teddy could almost feel them pulling him in, "I have been crazy about since I was four years old. Of course it was just a little crush up until the time I was eleven. That's why it broke my heart even more when you didn't write to me. Everyday we didn't speak through the years killed me a little. I tried to ignore it and get over you, even dating other guys, but nothing worked. It's always been you Teddy Bear, always. "
Teddy was speechless. Had he really been that blind through the years? He knew that he and Lily had always had a close bond but was it really because she had had feelings for him? 'Everybody could tell, couldn't they?' he thought as he remembered all the times that Vic got angry at him for saying something about Lily or her brothers looked at him like he was Satan for being close to her.
"Lily… I… I…" He struggled to find words, but Lily stopped him by putting a single finger over his lips before touching hers to his. Teddy was still blown away by the softness of her lips and feel of her mouth moving against his own. But all too soon she pulled away. Teddy's mind was blown, but he still could even begin to make sense of some of the things that had gone on the past few months.
"But every time we got close…" he swallowed hard, "like this… you would run away and not speak to me…" Lily's smile faded and she got off of his lap. She walked around the room for few minutes before speaking.
"I didn't think you wanted me." She stated plainly. "I thought you would think that I was stupid or crazy or just annoying. You had Vic, the epitome of beauty, and then there was me, a little school girl with her stupid childish dreams of marrying the prince. I couldn't see why you would want me, so anytime this" she made a gesture in between the two of them, "happened… I got scared and embarrassed… so I would run. It never had anything to do with me not wanting you," she said taking a few steps to him and lightly touching his face with her black gloved hand. Teddy wished that she had taken those off along with her mask, so he could feel her skin against his own.
He took her gloved hand in his and gently removed the offending garment, and kissed her bare hand. She had soft skin that was shining pearly white in the candle light of the evening. He slowly pulled her back down into his lap. She looked at him biting her lower lip.
"Lily, ever since I first caught a glimpse of you in the Great Hall, on the first day of school, I have been crazy about you." He watched her eyes grow wide, "You grew up to be such a beautiful and, dare I say it, sexy woman. You have been running through my head like wildfire, and I could get you out. Everyday you sat in this class room in your little school girl outfit was torture. I wanted to grab you and kiss you so many times but I knew I couldn't touch you. I'm so old and you're so young, and I'm your teacher! This really isn't right," She began to look at him fearfully. She clearly thought he was trying to break it off before it even had the chance to start, "but you know what they say," he continued as he pulled her a little closer, "the forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest."
To prove his point, he bent his head and began to kiss the soft skin on her neck. She gasped in surprise before melting into him a bit more, relaxing into his kisses. His hand ran across her body in a hungry motion. She moaned a bit at his touch, but stopped him before he could remove her dress.
"Teddy, there's something I should tell you," she said, pushing him away slightly.
"What?" he asked, trying to bring her back to him.
"I'm a virgin…" she said quietly. Teddy stopped. Damn, she was perfect. " I was waiting… for you…" she whispered, looking away with a blush starting to form on her cheeks. She had saved her self for him. This thought was practically enough to send him over the edge. She was pure and untouched. Any guy would be lucky to have her, but Teddy was ecstatic. Vic had lost her virginity to another guy when she and Teddy were on a break. He was pissed but she seduced him into thinking that it was for the better. 'I can be your teacher now' she had said. Teddy smirked. He was going to be the teacher now, and it was going to be fun.
"That's perfect Lily," he said truthfully.
"Really?" she asked looking up at him with round worried eyes.
"Yeah! It means you're bloody perfect!" she blushed and looked down again.
"You know this is wrong?" she asked playfully, making her all the more tantalizing.
"I know," was all Teddy could say.
"You could get fired?" she said looking up at him from behind her long lashes.
"I know."
"And you could go to jail potently?" Teddy smirked at this. She was over age now, so that part wasn't really true, but he would leave it be.
"I know Lily, but I don't care."
AN: There you go! It may take a while to get the next chapter up, because I'm going on vacation soon, but I will repost so don't worry! Also, I don't write lemons so there will be no sex scenes! But I really liked this chapter, but please tell me what you think or what you want to happen next. Thanks!
